WATER CASES TRIED
Jury Awards Judge Boise and Mrs.
Hallock Much Smaller Amounts
Than Were Asked.
The notions brought by tho City of
Dallas against Mrs. M. E. Hallock
and Judge R. P. BoLso to appropriate
a right-of way und cortuin water and
water rights was tried before Judge
Burnett this week. The trials lasted
throe days, and aroused a considerable
amount of interest. Mis. Hallock
claimed that tho appropriation of
GOO.OOO gallons of water from Canyon
Creek daily would damage her in the
sum of $10,000. She also claimed $100
for a right-of-way through her lands.
The jury, after making an inspection
of her premises and hearing tho evi
dence, decided that the amount asked
was far in excess of tho actual damngo
that would be caused by tho appropri
ation of such rights, and returned a
verdict for ffioo. Judge Boise who
claimed damages in tho sum of $5,100
was awarded $51 by tho jury.
Tho defendants wore represented by
W. II. Holmes, of Salem ; Sibley &
Httkin and N. L. Butler, of Dallas.
Win. T. Muir, of Portland, apjieared
as attorney for the city.
Tho jury was composed of repre
sentative citizens of Polk county, and
gavo both cases tho most careful con
sideration. The defendants received
full justice at their hands, and the
city is satisfied with tho result. It is
hoped that Dallas will bo put to no
further expensive and vexatious de
lays, and that the council will now be
allowed to go ahead with tho importa nt
work of supplying tho city with a
system of water-works.

TRACK IS COMPLETED
Trains Are Now Running; Between
Dallas and i ails City.
'i'ho track-laying crew of tho Dallas
and Fulls City railroad is at work in
the edge of tho latter town this morn
ing, and tho first train will run into
tho depot tonight. The turntable is
ready for use, and tho depot building
is nearing completion. The road is
now ready for business, and active
freight and passenger traffic will be
gin next Monday.
General Manager George T. Gerl
inger informs us that the new pass
enger coach is expected to arrive next
Monday night, and ho hopes to be
able to begin passenger service in
time for tho Dallas Street Fair and
Carnival. The new coach is roomy
and comfortable, and will accommo
date a largo number of people.
A sto&m-shovel having a capacity
sufficient to load 50 cars of gravel
daily has been ordered, and will be
put in operation at once. Every foot
of the track will be thoroughly ballast
ed, and the road will be made a model
ono in every respect. The gravel will
be taken from the bod of tho Luckia
muto near the bridge, and the work of
ballasting the track will last about 30
days.
The completion of this road marks
an important epoch in the history of
Polk county, and its influence will be
powerfully felt in all succeeding time.
The people of Dallas and Falls City
have worked long and earnestly to es
tablish rail connection between the
two points and to open up tho vast
forosts of the Luckiamute and Siletz.
Tho benefits that will be dorived can
not bo overestimated. Both towns
will eventually become sawmill
centers of great importance, and all
tho country lying between will be
brought to a high state of development.
Louis Gerlingcr, the enterprising
Portland capitalist, who has built and
equipped the road with his own money,
is entitled to tho loyal support and
hearty co-oporatiou of every citizen in
his endeavor to build up Polk county
and dovolop its vast resources. The
influonco and friendship of such a
man is worth having, for, whilo it has
meant much in tho past, it means in
finitely more in tho future The peo
ple of Dallas who subscribed to the
small subsidy asked which was a
more fraction of the cost of the road
are rejoiced that Mr. Gerlinger was
enabled to complete hi8 road within
tho time named in tho contract, and
will pay their subscriptions promptly
and cheerfully, knowing full well that
overy dollar paid to the road will be
returned to thorn an hundred-fold in
tho benefits that will accrue.
Georgo T. Gerlingor, the rosident
mauagor of the road, is a young
gentleman of splendid business quali
fications and is courteous and obliging
in his relations with all. In addition
to his office duties, ho had active
chargo of all tho construction, work,
and his workmen found him a kiud
and reasonable employer. With Mr.
Gerlinger at the General Manager's
desk, tho road will bo in good hands.
No better testimonial to tho skill and
efficiency of Chief Engineer J. W.
Coovort is needed than the road itsolf.
Constructed on strictly modern lines
and in tho most substantial manner,
it is excelled by no railroad in the
West. Mr. Coovort had chargo of all
the field work, and his duties wero per
formed faithfully and well.
And whilo tho peoplo of Dallas are
rejoicing over the completion of the
railroad and are congratulating Mr.
Gerlingcr on the successful termina
tion of his work, they do not forget
John Talbott, whoso years of untiring
effort finally resulted in bringing the
project to tho attention of men of
capital. No man over worked more
unselfishly and unceasingly than did
Mr. Talbott for tho building of this
road, and he will always be remem
bered for his energy and enterprise
Now, that tho railroad is completed,
tho people of Dallas will take a few
days off and enjoy tho Carnival.
Then they will turn their attention to
water-works and novor rest until a
part of Canyon Creek is brought to
tho city and every home is supplied
with pure, cold, mouutain water. That
is tho kind of peoplo they are.

BRIGHT'S DISEASE.
Tho largest sum ever paid for a pre
scription, changed hands in San Fran
cisco, August SO, 1901. The transfer in
volved in coin and stock $112,500.00 and
was paid by a party of business men for
a specific for Bright's Disease and Dia
betes, hitherto incurable diseases.
They commenced the serious investi
gation of tho specific Nov. 15, 1900.
They interviewed scores of the cured
and tried it out on its merits by putting
over three dozen cases on the treatment
and watching them. They also got phy
sicians to name chronic, incurable cases,
and administered it with the physicians
for judges. Up to Aug. 25, eighty-seyen
per cent of the test cases were either
well or progressing favorably.
There being but thirteen per cent of
failures, the parties were satisfied and
closed the transaction. The proceedings
of the investigating committee and the
clinical reports of the test cases were
published and will be mailed free on ap
plication. Address Johj J. Fclton

We can win immortal fame;

And we'll eet there just the same.

In the bivouac of life, '

Buy a corner lot for wife!
Let us, then, be up aud doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, Still pursuing,
Booming early, booming late.
